I can treat a person of a different faith with respect, kindness, and love all while believing his faith is completely false. Just because I don't agree with what he believes doesn't mean I hate him or treat him poorly (quite the opposite!), or even talk poorly about his religion to him or behind his back. I can show both him and his religion "respect" without ever agreeing with it.

So, if I read you correctly, respecting someone else's differing faith means to ignore someone else's differing faith?

One of my coworker beleives she's going to magically vanish when God's son floats down from the sky, another believes not only will no one vanish, but that there is no god. A third believes there is no god by Allah and Muhammed is his prophet.

At least two of these people have to be wrong, possibly insane.

Is the only path to respect and coexistance to ignore the giant Godlike elephant in the room?
